Police seek robbery fugitive in Seattle

Seattle police are helping search for a robbery suspect believed to have led police on a chase through Lake City and Ravenna before getting away Thursday afternoon.

Timothy Lussier is wanted for an armed robbery in Clearview, a small neighborhood north of Maltby, that occurred in early July, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities deemed him armed and dangerous.

The Snohomish County Violent Offender Task Force spotted a man they believed was Lussier around 1 p.m. in the Kenmore area. As deputies and officers approached the man, he drove away in a stolen van, initiating a chase south on 15th Avenue Northeast through Lake City. He ditched the van in Ravenna at the corner of 21st Avenue Northeast and Northeast 61st Avenue, near Ravenna Park, and ran away.

Officers have yet to find the man.

Lussier is described as being 34 or 35 years old, white, 6-feet tall and 200 pounds with brown hair and green eyes.
